I wonder if someone can tell me if these two ladies are related to each other and not necessarily by marriage.

Persis Pierce is the spouse of Simon Lobdell
b: 7 Jan 1645/46 in Charlestown, Suffolk, MA
d: Hingham, Plymouth, MA
Daughter of: Thomas Pierce, and spouse Elizabeth

Nancy Pierce is the spouse of Pliny Lobdell
b: 8 Aug 1802, Long Island, Queens, New York
d: 16 Aug. 1888, Chesaning, Saginaw Co., MI
Daughter of: Rowland Pierce, and spouse Nancy Cattrell/Catrell

Thanks for any help that can be given

Nan Curtis.
